Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"We reviewed the student's assignments in English 3. He created an outline for his research paper. He also created a rough draft of a short story he will turn in this week for extra credit."

★★★★★

"We worked on the student's notecards that are due this week and I assisted in clarifying secondary/primary sources as well as finding the sources. She also worked on the thesis and made it more detailed for her paper. "

"We worked on essay writing: breaking down and reconstructing "The Great Gatsby." We also covered the thesis statement and support of ideas and construction of paragraphs, which the student will rewrite for our next session."

★★★★★

"For this week, we will look at the digraphs 'sh' and 'ch'. I find that the 'sh' sound is less of a struggle than the 'ch' sound. Student was able to review words with these sounds. We also used the words in sentences. These sentences were read and the 'sh' and 'ch' sounds were noted. Students connects the 'sh' sound to someone asking her to be quiet and the 'ch' sound to sound of a train.
For practice, student will color the digraph that could be used to complete the words.
Student also reviewed the letters 's' and 't' and colored pictures of words that begin with these letters.
I am happy that this student is reading 'seed' books by herself. She is showing much progress."

★★★★★

"We began today's session with a new leveled reader, What Goes Up? Then we played a familiar sight word game, in which sight words are arranged on the coffee table in a game board and we roll the die to land on a sight word to read. We also used this game to practice subitizing with the die, which the student did well with. She is notably improving her sight word vocabulary, as well as her ability to decode. Equally important, she's taking the initiative to decode unfamiliar words without me having to prompt her to do so. Next we reviewed our ch, sh, th consonant digraphs; she is really getting the hang of these. Finally we did a beginning consonant sort with J, K and L. Overall, she did really well today!"

★★★★★

"Today, the student and I worked on matching letters to sounds, the letters A-G, printing practice, numbers 1-10 (counting objects to understand "how many"), and concepts of print (distinguishing letters from words, left to right, top to bottom)."
